Today, we are going to take a look at Kingston's latest USB 3.0 flash drive targeted at the value market - the Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0 (DTE30). One can think of it as the economical version of the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 (DTU30) and the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Gen. 2. Here are the DataTraveler Elite 3.0's key features :

- Tri-Coloured
- Convenient
- Customizable
- Guaranteed

Kingston currently offers the DataTraveler Elite 3.0 in capacities of 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB. We only received a 16 GB sample (the DTE30/16GB), so its performance may vary with its larger capacity brothers. With that in mind, let's take a look at the 16 GB Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0 and see how it racks up against a slew of other USB flash drives!

In this update, we added a new Size Comparison section, as well as Kingston's response on the high case temperature. We also made some layout and editorial corrections.
